Hey I have been thinking about this for awhile. I have thought about doing a contest on the site. The problem is I don't know what prize I would give out. It would be a trivia celebrating the 1yr anneversiary of the site.
Any suggestions would be nice.

Hmm... If you're thinking board prizes, maybe give the winner a special rank and avatar. Just a thought.

I don't really know what you could do to offer a prize. I must admit Sektor's idea is somewhat interesting, but I don't think it would be feasible. Say you offer a special custom rank or a mod postion to the winner; what does it actually do? It encourages problems like laziness or people acting like fools and not be themselves. Let me explain.
Remember when Crono had his "respect list"? People acted differently to get on it and where nothing but suck ups. And for the people not on the list, they became jealous and tried to do everything they could to get on it. Now I know that a trivia contest would be something you would have to win, but the possibility of jealousy is huge. Also, as for the custom rank thing, what reward is that really? This stems back to the whole discussion of what's more important: your rank and your #of posts, or the your quality of posts and participation in this forum? Also, we already award custom ranks to those who reach 2500 posts. To just give one away kinda devalues the time and effort put in by those who already have custom ranks, and once again other people would get jealous. That might result in people spamming to have a custom rank of their own. I just don't know what you could really do....

Well the idea was that the contest would be open to EVERY VISITOR on the site. I just don't know what prize to give out beside having the person recognized on the main page.

Yea, sounds like a good idea ... about the every visitor thing, but what would the trivia be about?

Well it would be questions about the site and the game. Mostly specific questions that I don't expect everyone to get right. I wanna make the questions hard enough to where you have to look deep through the site or be part of the board to know. It I cant come up with a prize then it will be recognition for getting the most right and the persons name on the front page.

Give them a page on the site where they can submit their own personal strategies. If they are good enough to win a Tactics Ogre Trivia, they may be good enough to write alternate strategies for it.
It may not sound like a great prize, but I think a lot of people would be excited to have their voices heard on a high traffic site like tacticsogre.com.

So kind of have a page with a visitors team and info. Plus their game strategies and anything else they have to say. Alright that can work. Does anyone else think this is a good plan? We could make this into a monthly thing where the winner of a trivia question is highlighted that month. What do you think about that instead? |

I think I am going to have a member of the month page and let them put some of their TKOL info up. I will give 1 trivia question on a certain day and the right answers I get that day will be put into a pool. I will randomly select a winner and he/she will get to put certain info on the page. The info will be their TKOL team, strategies, fav class/person, any general info like name and state they live in and maybe something else.
